Abstract

Perfluidone {1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl] methanesulfonamide} controlled wild Allium species when applied in the fall, winter, or early spring after the plants had emerged in bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and zoysia (Zoysia spp.) turf. A single 3.4- or 4.5-kg/ha rate generally resulted in good to excellent control, but repeated treatments for 2 consecutive yr were required to obtain consistent control.
